The team investors have agreed to a 15-year lease and will guarantee the venue's owners the greater of $200,000 a year or 10 percent of its gross revenue.
The Flyers hope to build a new $1.5 million stadium club along the first base line of Alexian Field. The restaurant will hold 175 persons and fans must pay a cover charge to get in. Season ticket holders and suite holders will get in at no additional charge.
